US Elections 2024: Former US President Donald Trump, who has officially been announced the Republican nominee for the November 5 elections, has picked Ohio Senator and one-time fierce critic JD Vance as his vice presidential running mate. “As Vice President, JD will continue to fight for our Constitution, stand with our Troops, and will do everything he can to help me MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Vance, 39, was a fierce Trump critic in 2016 but has since become one of the former president’s staunchest defenders, embracing his false claims that the 2020 election was marred by widespread fraud. After the announcement by Trump, Vance emerged on the convention floor with his Indian American wife Usha Chilukuri Vance, who traces her origins to Andhra Pradesh, and shook hands with delegates. He is due to address the convention on Wednesday.
